I might return and give this book a 5.  I would have liked more of Jorg and this world but as the author acknowledges it would drag on and the mysteries answered would never be as strong as the mysteries left half answered. 

I want more of Jorg the character because he was so fascinating and morally ambiguous and funny as well.  

I am too comfortable in my romance books that I have forgotten that not all things need happy endings even if they kind of work out for the best.
